BDO HORIZONS

Dear All,
We are pleased to announce the publication of the Q4 edition of Horizons, BDO’s global mid-market M&A review. Please download Horizons from our dedicated microsite, bdohorizons.com.

Here are some of the new Horizons’ highlights:

• China's ‘coming of age’: now more thoughtful acquisitions, M&A deal value and numbers rise, outbound investment increases
• Europe: despite Brexit, UK & EIR recorded strong performance, deal volume / value dropped elsewhere. EU rules will hamper M&A activity
• Mohdi’s ‘Make in India’ programme challenges Chinese dominance in manufacturing - change expected as deal-makers master GST
• USA - The slowest quarterly activity since Q2 2013. Valuations at unprecedented levels: buyers baulk.  
• Latin America fell 49.7% in value, compared to Q2. Improvements in Argentina rewarded with investor confidence. Brazil heads the top Q3 deals for Q3 2017.

More highlights can be found in the attached press release, and the full detail, including an industry review, is in this issue’s 45 pages of articles, authored by more than 20 BDO M&A specialists. Their commentaries provide a satellite view, integrating impacts from politics, and offering predictions for 2018.
